I'd love to see a black metal- or aluminium-back-cover on my SGN... but no luck finding one yet :(

would be great if anyone knows a link...

Imho those available for Galaxy SII (example) are amazing and are giving the phone a more valuable touch.

As for cases:

I wouldn't wrap my new car with a rubber or plastic shell so why would i my phone. ;)

I'm the more "garage"-kind of guy and prefer (felt)-bags... (jm2c)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TNS201:
Yes I would much rather have no case on my phone because of the lighter slimmer feel, but I have yet to break a phone with a case on it. Ever since I got my OG Droid I have always put a case on my phone. I am sure I would of used many insurance claims over the years if I hadn't had a case on my phones. Plus it keeps my phone's body in better shape and less scratches. When you sell your phone every year to get a new one, its better to have it in good shape.

I don't care whether you delete this topic or not. It is, somewhat, development related. I'm just doing a new topic for this thing because, if I were to post this on a ROM thread, it would have become covered with 100 other posts within the hour, decreasing the chances of the developer reading it! My hope, with this thread, is that someone interested or someone who knows about this, sees it and does something about it! Please read first, and if you, the one who has the power to delete threads for whatever reason, consider it utterly useless and retarded, delete it.

I'm a new DHD user (switched over from the Desire). This issue was in Sense ROMs for the Desire, as well. The Desire S had this problem with stock GB, too.

In CM-based ROMs such as MIUI (which is what I'm currently using), you get an "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. From there, you can choose the wi-fi channels (11, 13, 14). On a freshly flashed MIUI, no channel is selected. I have two wi-fi networks in my appartment (one is mine, one is from a neighbour). That second wi-fi network, from my neighbour... my phone does not see it (unless I choose 13 or 14 wi-fi channels).

Funny thing. That neighbour's wi-fi... it's set on channel #3. It's a MSI RG54SE II router, if that matters.

Now, on Sense ROMs, such as Android Revolution HD and RunnyDrOiD (the ones I have tried so far), you don't get the option to choose the channels. So... that RG54SE II is unseen by my phone.

Back when I was having the Desire... Only LeeDrOiD ROM had that "Advanced" section under Wireless Networks. Not sure if that's the case with his ROM for the DHD, as well...

So, this thing is not only for the DHD. It's also for the Desire, and the Desire S. My gilfriend has a DS, and until I convinced her to let me unleash her phone's lockers and flash something on it, she could only see 3 Wi-Fi`s (stock 2.3.3, that is), while I could connect to all 20 that were available in the zone.

--

Hope you get my point. Hope you know what I'm talking about. Hope I'm not the only one that noticed this!!!

If anyone has any idea on how to solve this... please tell me. I have tried LeeDrOiD's "Adhoc networking" (that was the only network-related addon I could find, so...) patch, but that didn't do the work. I don't know what will, since there isn't any addon for this... or I'm blind? Open my eyes, then - KINDLY, not with a banhammer.
[Desire HD General] henrybravo:
This is not the answer you're looking for, but it's worth a mention. You should just ask your neighbor to use a recommended channel. I notice that you're outside of the U.S., where you are supposed to use channels 1, 5, 9 or 13 to prevent wi-fi networks from interfering with each other (within the U.S. you are supposed to use channels 1, 6 or 11). You can make up a story and tell your neighbor that his oddball channel 3 configuration (that he probably decided to use for no good reason) is causing interference with your own network, and you have the technical proof to back it up. From Wikipedia:

"There are 14 channels designated in the 2.4 GHz range spaced 5 MHz apart (with the exception of a 12 MHz spacing before Channel 14). As the protocol requires 25 MHz of channel separation, adjacent channels overlap and will interfere with each other. Consequently, using only channels 1, 6, 11 is recommended in the US to avoid interference. In the rest of the world, the four channels 1, 5, 9, 13 are recommended."

Maybe you can just get your neighbor to follow the rules and switch his network to channel 1, 5 or 9. Then every ROM that you use will have no problem connecting to his network and the problem is solved. I'm assuming you have his permission to use his network resources.;)
[Desire HD General] Formhault:
Both my Huawei and his MSI router are configured to channel 3. I put it to that, because there are other 10 networks within this area, and I thought... meh... perhaps they're not using the same channel, lol. Anyway, with the phone, on 14 channels, I only see 5 networks, including mine. With the laptop, I see about 11, so I believe this applies to whatever networks there may be outside, too...

The neighbour I'm talking about... I don't have his permission. I think it's one of those 50 year old couples who don't give a **** about what hardware the ISP installs in their home. Most older-than-45 people here, in my country, know nothing about Wi-Fi, and, since they don't even use it... I wouldn't be surprised if the people who own that MSI router don't even know it's there.

Anyway... the gateway, interface, whatever (192.168.1.1) is accessible, and the user/pass are not changed ("admin', that is). It ain't got a password, neither, obviously. So I could get in and change everything I wished regarding WLAN. Too bad it ain't got /n, but still... I'll try to change the channel even further, and try again with a Sense ROM.

Still, that doesn't fix the issue. Downtown, the most crowded place in the entire city... there are about 25 Wi-Fi networks around (at least that's what I can detect with my phone). My phone (CM-based ROM) can see them all. My girlfriend, with her stock ROM`ed Desire S, could only see 5 or 6. That is no longer the case now, since she's got MIUI, too. And I believe this is the issue with all Sense ROMs : you see 30% of the WLANs you'd see with a CM-based ROM...

I can't ask public stores : hey, your wi-fi... it's set to a channel that my phone just can't see, change it!

I posted a thread just like this before and it passed rather unseen. And un touched. Also I asked for a similar situation and had negative answer. But my issue is that I have a VIZIO router.

This is a rather new router and it gives me another option VIZIO HD. Which is more advance and speedier. I have a 12mb connection but I dont have full speed as I cant connect with this.

And a samsung galaxy can also a motorola atrix so I would like to know if someone knows if this can be modified.

Firstly, using a persons WiFi without permission is theft, regardless of whether it is locked or not. Does an open window in someone's house mean you can legally steal there belongings?

Secondly, this is not Development related in the slightest.

Thirdly, you want the XDA community to help you find a solution to break the law? You should search for an answer elsewhere. i.e. not XDA.

I have searched everywhere to find out how to stop kies telling me my phone cannot be upgraded. I have also read that this is due to me having installed a custom rom at one point and wanted to know how to revert to a completely stock factory shipped version so I can then update my phone via kies.

works also on ics !

------------------------------

First of all hello,

maybe some people know this problem.

Hutchison 3G Problems/ Three / Drei however named is a network provider in various countries.

Like in Austria if you have not a strength 3G signal, your phone will switch to another network provider called A1 (Vodafone) it is national Roaming and only 2G, but it's free because they have a contract.

The big problem at this point is that if you get back to a place where 3G signal is good the phone doesn't switch back automatically. So I have to search for the network manually and that is really annoying.

In original roms from Hutchison 3G in Austria the search at least every 3 minutes for the 3G network if the are in the Vodafone network.

What I didn't say before is that Hutchison 3G has no 2G network in Austria that is the reason for the contract.

So I'm searching for a script or something else which gives me to opportunity to switch to Hutchison 3G or a automated script which does the job.

Hi,

Searched but I couldn't find anything related to this. Just got my wife the SGS2 (AT&T). Rooted. An issue she is having which first happened with the game "fruit ninja" is after she installs it from the market, it doesn't show up in the app drawer. Eventually the app did show up (after a reboot or two) but, there are other apps that showed up immediately after installing and then disappeared from the app drawer. The apps are still installed because if you go to them in the market you can click "open" and they open without an issue. Phone is running gingerbread (not the 2.3.6 update (because of the root, was unable to update)). Any help with this issue is greatly appreciated.

You need an older recovery. Had the same issue but when using 3.x instead of 5.0.2.x the status 7 issue went away.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suksit:
You're welcome :)

You have to install ClockworkMod recovery in order to get those options. It's not a ROM, it's a recovery image that you flash to replace the stock recovery.

You'll need it if you want to flash custom ROM, custom kernel, or other modifications that comes in an unsigned zip file. Otherwise you can just stick to the stock recovery.

Other benefits of CWM recovery are backup and restore functions, mount options, and the ability to wipe cache, dalvik-cache, battery stats, etc.

To install CWM recovery, you'll have to unlock the bootloader and flash it using fastboot command. I'd recommend you to follow the guides in Nexus S General section if you want to do it.

The Prime does have HDCP, unlike my Droid X2. I've been capturing game video on both devices (www.pixel-freak.com) and have to use FRAPS to grab the Prime screens due to the HDCP piece. DX2 does not have HDCP and I am able to grab whatever I want through it. I've even tested Netflix which captures on my DX2 without the need for HDCP aversion (not that I'm pirating movies, I just tested it and it worked).

My guess with this issue is something is wrong with the HDCP/Google vids because it's only there to authenticate for this exact reason. I bet there's a glitch where it's recognizing it as capturing rather than simple displaying.

Have you tried streaming Netflix with the same setup? Theoretically it should be the same result, but I bet it won't be. I bet it will work and there is something wrong with the HDCP or Google Vids.

But that movie I rented from Android market is a big no show on the big screen. I get only audio and no video.

It is disappointing.
